I was one of the original Lesig members, and though I stepped up to take a liaison position when it was needed, I wasn't really cut out for the job, I'm really quite spotlight-shy! I really didn't like doing events, it made me really nervous to have everyone watching me. I tried though! I stayed a lot longer than I should have in my liaison role, because I really did like my character.

A lot of people found who I was from the first leak.. I played the Syntax EPN Tygrvason. When I stepped up to play a liaison, it was back before the ruling that you couldn't be a liaison on your home server, and so I just stuck to Syntax because I didn't expect to ever create characters on other servers really. Being on the same server though made things really stressful after the leak however. :/And oh, I can finally say, thanks and sorry for having to put up with my nearly unreadable font color that Tygr used in chat, I just couldn't seem to part with it. Someone told me they remember it originally being purple, I don't remember, but it's possible. Until it finally got to the characteristic-serious-business-dark-gray people remember.

And that's all, thank you everyone, thank you fellow ex-Lesig, thank you Rarebit, thank you all the friends I made from this great game!

(And if there's any other ex-Lesig'ers who would like me to post for them, I'd be more than happy to help you say farewell, just send me an email!)

Ah, Wolfess - those pics brought back some wonderful memories! I wish my computer hadn't taken all of your drawings with it when it died - I saved all of them...

I am also one of the original LESIG members, though I haven't ever played a liaison during these years, just supporting roles in events and a few long-term side-characters.

While I am not ready to reveal all of my identities as a Lesiger, I can reveal one such character now:

 - William O. Perret

Woah! Impressive...

That does explain a few things I'll have to check this before the servers go down.

Great work, Mathalos and Bayamos!

I always liked you.

Take care and the best of luck in whatever you do now!

No, the final surprise will be an anniversary event that paraphrases the End of Beta...

...except this time, the servers will never go back up!

Best of luck in whatever you end up doing know, Yahweh!

Not sure how much I interacted with you under this handle, but you will forever be one of the people I'll remember most from MxO.

/formalbow

I've been here since pre-order.

For the first two years I was on nearly every day with my main, and the past six months I haven't been in at all because I haven't owned a MxO-capable computer, and the year leading up to that various issues prevented me from playing more than once a week (being jacked-in two to four hours at a time to run crits and such).

My main reached 39 just before my computer died.

I do have alts on Syntax and Vector, but none of them are higher than 21 (I think - haven't played with them for a long time).

Sounds great - depending on how everything goes, I might be interested.

Now I've read the posts in this thread, the storyline posts, and had time to gather my thoughts.

It's amazing to see so many of the old names either posting through a friend to say goodbye, or even re-subscribing just to make a post here!

That people are willing to pay just to say how much they appreciate everything Rare's  done, and say goodbye, should be a stronger indication than anything of just how much his presence has meant.

Rarebit: Thank you for everything; there's been many great times in this game thanks to you and i will always have many fond memories of events and stories. The plans you had for the story were nothing short of perfect, I think.

/tiphat

Woe to us all!

Good luck with whatever you will be doing now Rarebit - you´ve been great and you will be deeply missed by many.

You forgot the part where a certian union that starts with an L sticks up for the laborer because their reliant on power and tiime investment which their hoping a postive disposition will  reward eventually.

That's why I take everythng with a grain of salt. When half your power personalites in MxO are on the take by being given out player program powers its really hard to get a good read... 

My advice Viil do what I did just stop caring dude.. trying to disect the finer points of a quality entertainment experience to these people is like trying to sit through dinner with a lobbyist and get a straight answer.

I doubt few of you remember my name or even know who I am, but I've been here since beta.

Despite having a full-time job, two and a half hours of travelling to and from it every day, and several other activities taking time from me, I also live in Europe - all this has severely limited my time for interaction with others in this game.

I care about the story above all - that's what made me play this game to begin with, and that's the main thing that has kept me around this long. I've seen piece after piece of what made this game unique and interesting being dropped for various reasons, as have you all.

Previously, I played to collect hard-to-get items and I have my inventory stock full of event items, rewards and memorabilia. Most of it, I've done all by myself, but I've played with others as well, though less nowadays since many of those I called friends and faction mates went on to other games or changed servers, and even quit on MMOs entirely. Nowadays, I only collect certain items - partly becaues of lack of inventory space (yes, I store a lot in my email as well) and partly because I do not have the time and patience to grind every new content that is put in so I can get the rewards.

Before this last change I have never even for a second thought about quitting this game. I've payed a lot of money and spent a large chunk of my free time on this game, neglecting sleep and sometimes even work to take part in events or grind for items. These days, I'm considering quitting.

People are dropping from this game like flies from the Assassin, and there are several reasons. One important reason is that grinding in this game is often even more repetetive and boring than it is in other MMOs. Now that the story be default also involves just that type of grinding, I won't be surprised if we lose another bunch.

I've played other MMOs, but so far nothing has been able to hold my attention the way MxO has. AoC came close, but I found a lack in motivation in that. The only thing it offered as a carrot was higher levels and further abilities. WoW at least offers new areas, but I hate the graphics of that game. MxO offers story - both 'static' side stories in each and every neighborhood; stories that are interlinked and interesting, and more importantly - an ever-evolving and intruiging main story.

The key thing that has had me playing MxO over the other MMOs I've tried is the ability to Choose. I could choose if I wanted to solo or play in teams; I could choose if I wanted to grind or casually level. I could choose to dedicate a lot of time and effort to interacting with liaisons and events to get the full story. I could choose to grind for rewards, or grind for info and buy them instead (in many cases).

A lot of that choice has now been made for me, just like in other MMOs.

The suggestion to open up the Quests for every level but keep the rewards at lvl 50 is a good one. Make sure the tokens for the rewards only drop from fixed level mobs, and the challenge remains for the 50s, while opening the story to easier participation for low-levels and casual players.

The question is this: does MxO as a whole benefit from alienating certain players by forcing them to  commit more time and effort to the game?

The answer is no. It benefits MxO to keep itself accessible to all, both high and low level; power gamer or casual player.

It's as simple as that.

Otherwise, we will be left with nothing but a useless porcelain mask and no flies holding it ip.

This game needs to implement new things for RPers, and new things to get PvPers into RP. RP is why I bought the game (on Revolutions I was like, "omg, I will be best friends with Morpheus!1!" )

On this note i would like to say that is very true, but i highly doubt you will see that happening. The game has been and still is becoming more and more PvP orientated.

But I like this luggable node idea, it is a way to make even better money for those of us who cannot spend 2/3 of our life in Datamine.

This is a good point indeed but also on this not. It will only be a good thing provided they place all or at least two of them outside of Data Mine. Otherwise it makes them pointless. Except to push for hey hes got the xX% luggable for Data nodes. Quick get him. Which yes if one is in Data Mine thats exactly what will happen. But outside of it finding that person will be more of a challenge. But with one in yes they will probably nerf the percent given in Data Mine but unless your lucky to find it while there are little to no people in the construct it will just be a run for your life to keep it so you can hopefully use it.

 

This is why I would like to see more RP content, I remember how let down everyone felt when those props came out.

seriously white room content? haha we are lowering our standards aren't we. Who cares i'd like to see the white room maybe once im not really that bothered by it to be honest and *CENSORED* would we do if we got our own white room? what could you do in it what would be the point in it? jump in wow im in the white room , screenshot, fun over.

 

i think its in the film when morpheus is revleaing the truth to neo and when neo asks for guns, lots of guns.

No, that's not the same room...

The room with the red armchairs, the tv and the coffee table is in the tutorial (or was, at least - not sure if they took it out, it was kinda pointless...) - the CSRwhite room has a desk-like table and two regular chairs, and was never in the movies. (The closest to that is the room where Smiht brought Neo, but without walls, floor etc)

Imagine for a moment having to constantly click no to a request to be kissed to see anything on your screen because it lands right smack in the middle of your feild of view and disrupts your typing every time the request is made.

Could they possibly be implemented as MA vs. Gunman finishing moves?
That
way, it wouldn't really matter how long they took to execute, as I
notice finishing moves take longer than the standard 4 second exchange.

And it'd be a pretty cool ending to knock an opponent's guns away and then deliver that big kick to knock them down.

Suck up. No wonder you get your own rank. :p

Okay, HERE'S the real reason why Euro servers OR Events won't work:

The Germans will pvp everyone and try to take over.

The Swiss will hide in a corner and not do anything.

The French will get ganked by the Germans too much and quit.

The English would sit around and /drinkbottle

The Scottish would run around naked with blue tatoos on their faces.

The Irish would sit around with /mood drunk.

The Russians would get all uppity and try to propagandize everything.

The Polish would get ganked by the Germans.

The Italians would switch organizations too much and tick everyone off.

The Spanish would /dance4 all over the place.

 

 

Please
note that all of the above comments were jokes and I intend no actual
offense towards the European community. Good luck with WWIII, by the
